CAC323 Air Charge Cooler for Kenworth and Peterbilt Trucks

The CAC323 air charge cooler (also known as a charge air cooler or intercooler) is designed for compatible Kenworth and Peterbilt heavy-duty truck applications. It reduces compressed intake air temperatures from the turbocharger before air enters the engine, helping maintain proper airflow, combustion efficiency, and reliable engine performance.

Medium and heavy-duty commercial trucks rely on efficient charge air cooling systems to maintain power and reliability under demanding operating conditions. A damaged or leaking air charge cooler can reduce boost efficiency, increase intake temperatures, and affect overall engine performance.
